Spammer's profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=101354Spammer's username: dblink How he is spamming: See below It appears that dblink is spamming random garbage in at least one thread. He posted the following post in my thread advising people to use escrow in the currency exchange section: ( archive - reply #37) Once upon a time, escrow accounts were optional for almost all borrowers. These days, lenders require escrow accounts on all loans with less than 20 percent down. Without an escrow account, the borrower must exercise disciplined savings practices, or face the consequences when the big tax bill comes due. If you do not have an escrow account, but you want one, most lenders are happy to put one in place for you. However, once you have an escrow account and decide you no longer want it, it can be tough to get rid of it.
Not only does this not make any sense in the context of the thread, however a google search of a random part of his post yields the following result: The Pros and Cons of Escrow AccountsOne of the paragraphs in this article/website match the above post exactly. Looking at his posting history, I found a few additional copy/paste spam posts: #1 - forum post - ( archive - reply #598) - this matches google search result website Pros and Cons of Prepaid Visa Gift Cards - the website has some special formatting so a browser search may not provide a "hit" when you search the entire post, however this exact verbiage is about half way through the article Hey,
Do you accept a Visa Gift Card from Vons Grocery Store ?
They use visa.gowallet.com to check balance.
Thank you
Wrong gift card can sometimes end up being the wrong gift if not chosen carefully. Unfortunately some gift cards come with big activation fees which must be paid by the recipient before they use the card for the first time. The big activation fee can quickly use up the funds which the gift provider had loaded onto the card. Some gift cards are designed to be used only at one retailer. #2 - forum post - ( archive - reply #12) - matches Pros and cons: Gift cards vs. prepaid cards - at least in this post, a few words were deleted from the post, although the words deleted were of the author of the article quoting an expert regarding the topic. Few information about Giftcards:
Gift cards that are lost or stolen may mean the consumer loses out. A thief has access to all the money on the card, However, if you've registered the card, you may get some of your money back, but you also may be charged a fee, Gift cards issued with Visa or MasterCard logos are protected by credit card laws. And state laws governing gift cards also can add a layer of protection, including requiring more disclosures or the right to redeem a card for cash, according to the Consumers Union.
There are other similar posts, however the above examples should be sufficient to take action.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=11921It looks like this account is probably hacked (last post in 2013) and has changed his displayed name to 'theymos' and has a personal text set to 'administrator'. This person could easily impersonate theymos to people bidding on the forum actions. It might be a good idea to restrict the names that donators/VIP accounts can changed their displayed names to.

I am looking for 3 Full Member accounts
You must be able to provide a signed message to prove ownership of the accounts.
I can offer competitive pricing, however the price that I will offer will be in line with the current market environment for accounts (which results in generally low prices for low level accounts).
The accounts must have neutral or positive trust.
Either post here or PM any offers that you have.
Thanks

This is one that I am not wrong about. Scammers profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=349239I had originally left a neutral on thebitcoinquiz.com saying that he is a potential alt of puzzel.me, because I thought I remembered reading a post somewhere in lending saying that the account was sold. Earlier today I had received a PM from him asking me to remove the neutral, and him claiming that he purchased puzzel.me in November/December of 2014. However this did not fit the timeline of my rating against him: The two addresses are connected via txid 34cc6c87ece57db5cc87a8c2412ced34dcbe61f852d256cb6d4b10bc3b0e19be After I explained to him that his claim did not fit the timeline, I told him that I would need some evidence of the purchase of puzzel.me for me to remove the neutral, he told me that he deleted his old PM's and did not have it. I later explained that I only gave him a neutral because I thought his account was sold and it would be possible that he is no longer puzzel.me. He later claimed that he personally created the account and it is not a sold account and that he could sign a message proving as much. I eventually ask him to sign a message from 12Xbr6rM6NiVGhXuf14r2jAz1royY3vAyf which he was quoted as posting here (his original post has since been edited). He replied saying that he is on his phone and cannot access his bc.i web wallet to sign a message, but could send a small amount to an address of my choice. I tell him to send a small amount to 1Ct3qb4nE3THsmHmSirP4XQqf8qn5Xf2Ad (my tipping address), which he did via txid 5b865c95e8a6a3ed64b599e1195d4a9928241f8f9ace4636410820d3aa67d71d (please view via blockchain.info - there is a public note from him) The address 12Xbr6rM6NiVGhXuf14r2jAz1royY3vAyf also signed txid 19bf7ad467ecbc915aa1040507d4aad206097160ede048def052384f8a39c96b which was also signed by 1Km9U8gY4ZNjkAoLPiicQcw33JKL9yK4wL The address 1Km9U8gY4ZNjkAoLPiicQcw33JKL9yK4wL also signed txid 34cc6c87ece57db5cc87a8c2412ced34dcbe61f852d256cb6d4b10bc3b0e19be which was also signed by 1BwEvWwjBTfJBBQBKPiq5i9GdS7ZxsRCqo The address 1BwEvWwjBTfJBBQBKPiq5i9GdS7ZxsRCqo was posted here by puzzel.me. In theory the fact that thebitcoinquiz.com claimed to purchase puzzel.me in November would point to his innocence, however this is not the case. stellar69 is tagged as being a probable alt of puzzel.me by BadBear (in mid December). This account asked for a loan on this post to be funded to 1DDpkieFmJuRAskNYzDAdDfjhFqRHAmeNk which also signed the above transaction. Not only that, but since he offered collateral, he got the loan and repaid it via txid a54650f6ce38ddd5b46606fa94d4ee0f50bfd9ec025b0dc3d259b7a2baafbd5c which he posted here and had inputs from 1DDpkieFmJuRAskNYzDAdDfjhFqRHAmeNk edit: Also the very first post by puzzel.me is this which was a contest entitled "The Bitcoin Quiz! Win Upto 1BTC! From 5th August to 11th August " |

edit: it appears that I was wrong on this one. It looks like question2 had posted the address ~1 day after the contest was closed for additional entries and I am not able to believe that someone as involved with DaDice that ndnhc is would make that mistake. Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=146601
In this thread, the user question2 made good on an extortion threat of outing Joca97 for evading a ban and replying to his own posts. The extortion threat was that if Joca97 did not send .1 BTC to an address that 'question 2' specified then he would make the above information public.
This post contains a screen shot of the PM's sent from 'question 2' that was attempting to extort Joca97. Below is a link to a screen shot of such PM's:

Here is an idea, if you have been able to properly secure your account (e.g. login and change your password) and your account is not hacked then please sign a message from a GPG key and/or bitcoin address that was posted on an unedited post prior to May 22 at 00:55 UTC (one minute prior to the hack). Post both your signed message and the unedited post where you posted your GPG key and/or bitcoin address. Include the date in your signed message to prevent impersonators from pretending to be you in the future. I will start. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This account appears to have created a custom name with a single space (e.g. ' '), effectively making it near impossible to find his profile (most people probably will not be able to). When you look at one of his posts there is no clickable link to his profile and it appears that there is no name attached to the profile. My question is, should it be a requirement for all displayed usernames to have at least one, letter, number of symbol? This person does not appear to do any business on the forum, so I don't think the scam risk is very big. However that cannot be said for every other VIP account holder.

A scammer tag and/or an untrustworthy tag would really be preferable, however the accounts really need to have the ability to edit/delete their posts be disabled. Although the forum does not usually get involved in scams, it has in the past gotten involved in the un-delation of posts/threads. Additionally, there is no question that James Volpe is a scammer, as he has previously admitted to stealing funds from his "investors", (he actually admitted to it previouisly however he deleted the posts prior to me archiving the thread - the quotes inside the post are accurate). James is attempting to cover his tracks by attempting to cover up evidence against him in a number of scams, as he was arrogant enough to think he was not able to have his "real life" identity uncovered which he was incorrect in assuming. He has a history of deleting all of the posts that his scammer accounts have ever posted and a history of deleting all the posts in a self moderated thread after he scams. Additionally he has very recently edited the OP of threads he has created to make it look like his posts were very much unrelated to threads he created (which were very often related to various scams) and this will make it much more difficult to investigate his scams and potentially bring civil and/or criminal charges against him. He has done this in 21 of the most recent 40 (remaining) posts that he has not deleted. here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, ,here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here are all examples that TheGambler has done of this, and I do not doubt that he has engaged in similar practices on his other accounts. I also believe that James was behind the hacking of what I believe to be theymos's close personal friend Akka several months ago.
Additionally, I would appreciate it if someone could review the linkeddox[/url] to ensure it conforms with forum policy. Getting the dox was easy and relied on public information. First, I used blockchain evidence to link the account dzeros to the account TheGambler. I knew that he was in the GMT +10 time zone (that included, but is not limited to Melbourne, Australia) in this thread (the OP that contained the image has since been edited, however this post that remains confirms it). I then found the Skype handle ( archive) that was posted by dzeros, which matched exactly the twitter handle exactly, and had posted a facebook account whose name very closely matched the facebook username of one of his friends. I was able to find a whois entry with a domain that matches the name of the above Facebook account. A search of the above domain resulted in the phone number and address associated with the above domain that was located in the above timezone.
This person has overall created an unsafe environment for the community to trade in and has overall wreaked havoc within the community. A lot of time and effort has been put into finding the various alts and scams this person carried out, especially considering the fact that he put in great effort in order to avoid detection. On a somewhat related note as to how much effort was put into finding this person, and stopping his scams in their tracks, I would like to request a VIP account, or if not then a donator account, or if not then at the very least a custom title of "honorary legendary" member. As a result of my time and effort, someone who has scammed massive amounts of money will likely no longer attempt to scam here and someone who has spammed massively (via bump spam of his various shill alts for his various HYIP scams) will no longer spam. |

It looks like TheGambler is showing as being a hero account, however it only has 99 posts. It previously had well over 500 activity and over 700 posts, however they were recently deleted (to cover his tracks). My question is why was his rank not updated when his activity fell below 480? |

The fact that bitcoin is pseudonymous (for small to medium amounts for all intensive purposes this means it is anonymous) means that scammers are very much attracted to bitcoin and bitcoin related deals. If you attempt to buy or sell bitcoin in this section then, more likely then not there will be multiple attempts to scam you. In order to protect yourself against scam attempts, you should always use a trusted third party escrow (a middle man) to protect all parties of a transaction. The cost of escrow is very small, especially considering that there is generally little chance of you recovering any funds you are scammed out of if/when you do get scammed. Just because you are paying in a way that might be abel to be reversed does not mean that it is safe to send funds first if you cannot (should not) trust the person you are trading with Who should you trust to escrow your transaction:- It is generally a good idea to only use someone who is publicly offering escrow services, this will allow you to check an additional reference for potential problems
- Generally speaking, someone who has a Dark Green number under their profile (their trust rating) without adjusting your trust settings
- Someone who, in your best judgment is not going to scam you - it is ultimately up to you to find someone who you can safely say will not run away with your money being held in escrow
- Someone whose PGP/GPG key you previously have prior to contacting them for escrow (it is okay if you import their key immediately prior to requesting their escrow services)
Who you should not trust to escrow your transaction:- Anyone that does not have at least Light Green trust. Anyone who fits this criteria and is offering their escrow services is almost certain to scam you.
- Anyone who you are not confident is going to treat all parties of a transaction fairly
- Anyone who you are not confident is going to not scam you while acting as escrow
Note to mod note: This thread is technically in the wrong section, however due to the large number of recent successful scams in the currency exchange section, and the lack of a similar warning in the Currency Exchange section, I feel that this is necessary to post here. There are similar warnings in the Goods, lending, and auctions sections, but not one here, so I feel that it is appropriate to have one in Currency Exchange. (Either this or a similar thread really should be stickied here). I had bounced the idea of a similar thread off of a moderator via Skype however did not receive any kind of response so I decided to take the initiative myself.
OP note: feel free to make suggestions for improvements, however I prefer to keep this thread as general as possible and to avoid making any specific recommendations in case a particular piece of advice does not sufficiently protect someone.
The below post is additional good advice |

While purchasing accounts for a client I had entered into agreements for more accounts then my budget allowed for (I agreed to use escrow with a seller, he logged off for long enough for me to think he rejected my offer, then I made a deal to buy all that I needed) and as a result I have a Full member account that I do not need. (I cannot post from it due to contract restrictions with my current signature campaign).
The account is described as follows:
Full Member (quantity - 1)
Registered: 2014
Feedback: Neutral
Activity: 120+
Posts:160+
Feedback: Neutral
Trust: 0: -0 / +0(0)
On Default Trust: No
Signed message: yes
Starting bid:.05 BTC
Bid increment: .005 BTC
BIN: .09 BTC (or .02 BTC above the high bid, whichever is greater) *the BIN may be negotiable
End time: April 28 2015 2:00 AM GMT (forum time) (48 hours from now)
Payment is due within 24 hours of the winner being announced, in the event that the winner does not pay within 24 hours then the next highest bidder will be expected to honor his bid and will have 24 hours to pay for their bid.

I am looking to buy a good number of full member accounts.
Any account that I purchase will need to have a signed message from a address posted in an old, unedited post in order to prove ownership.
I am able to offer competitive pricing however I do have a certain budget that I am restricted to.
All accounts must have either neutral of positive trust when viewed from a trust list that only includes DefaultTrust with a trust depth of 2.
Please either post or PM offers.
